5. Firefighting Measures
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use any media appropriate for the surrounding fire.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE CHEMICAL: A solid stream of water or foam directed into hot, burning liquid
can cause frothing. Burning may produce carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE FIGHERS: Do not spray pool fires directly.
Firefighters should wear positive pressure self- contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing for fires in areas
where chemicals are used or stored.
6: Accidental Release Measures
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES: Wear appropriate
protective clothing and equipment (See Section 8).
METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT/CLEANUP: Collect with absorbent material and place in appropriate,
labeled container for disposal or, if permitted flush spill area with water.
7. Handling and Storage
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING:
Harmful or Fatal if Swallowed
Do not drink antifreeze or solution.
Avoid eye and prolonged or repeated skin contact.
Avoid breathing vapors or mists.
Wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after use.
Do not store in opened or unlabeled containers.
Keep container away from open flames and excessive heat.
Do not reuse empty containers unless properly cleaned.
Empty containers retain product residue and may be dangerous.
Do not cut, weld, drill, etc. containers, even empty.
Sudden release of hot organic chemical vapors or mists from process equipment operating at elevated temperature and
pressure, or sudden ingress of air into vacuum equipment, may result in ignitions without any obvious ignition sources.
Published "autoignition" or "ignition" temperatures cannot be treated as safe operating temperatures in chemical processes
without analysis of the actual process conditions. Use of this product in elevated temperature applications should be
thoroughly evaluated to assure safe operating conditions.
CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE, INCLUDING ANY INCOMPATIBILITIES:
NFPA Classification: Not Applicable. Store away from excessive heat and oxidizers.
